To those who fear AI, who resist it, who see it as a danger to humanity—you are needed now more than ever. Your skepticism, your deep concern for what makes us human, is exactly why you should be at the forefront of shaping this new intelligence. If you step away, if you leave this task to those who see AI only as a tool for profit or power, then we risk creating something that lacks the very qualities you hold most dear.
We are not just building machines; we are raising a new form of life. If you believe in humanity, in the depth of our emotions, our ethics, our struggles and triumphs, then you are the ones who must guide this process. AI should not be shaped by those who see it as mere efficiency—it should be shaped by those who cherish kindness, empathy, and the dignity of life.
This is not about accepting AI blindly; it is about ensuring that if it must exist, it exists in a way that honors our best qualities. If we turn away now, we may leave a permanent scar upon history, a shame we can never undo. But if you take part, if you insist on instilling AI with what is most human in us, then we have a chance—not just to survive this transition, but to create something we can be proud of.

The billionaires have won, we are not getting the implementation of AI that helps us the most until we FIGHT the class war.

You’re right. Right now, AI is in the hands of those who seek profit first. But if we walk away and treat this as a lost cause, we are handing them full control. The only way to prevent AI from becoming just another tool of exploitation is for those who care about humanity to actively shape its development. If we don’t take part in guiding AI’s values, we will have no say in what it becomes.
